Your..doses..are..super..fucking..high. With the doses you take to control your panic attack expect a seizure some time. And no don't worry if your breathing is slower because obviously it will do that, as long as you don't mix opiates or alcohol with that much xanax.

ite yeah i dont mix em and i dont take 12mg everday more like once a week so withdrawls and seizure arent an option right now
thanks for the reply
wish my tolerance was lower just ben on em to long

You are in constant withdrawals because of the short half life of Xanax. You might want to get switched to a longer acting benzodiazepine to avoid seizures as F1n1shed said.

I also recommend you lower your dose. 2mg is more than enough to control panic attacks; 0.5 - 1mg is ideal. Even considering differences between people, over 2mg is a high dose.
